It is early afternoon and I have just returned to my room at the resort after having spent a memorable half-day watching wedge-tailed eagles soar in near squadron-like numbers above me, spotted rare yellow-footed rock wallabies hot-footing it over boulders and emus striding across straw-coloured plains framed by the proverbial ragged mountain ranges. On canvassing my room, I notice that housekeeping has swooped, not unlike those eagles from earlier in my day, and made my king-sized bed, cleaned my bathroom and changed my fluffy towels. On most holidays this would be an entirely unremarkable occurrence, except that my room here at the Ikara Safari Camp at the Wilpena Pound Resort in the Flinders Ranges of South Australia is a tent. It is one of more than a dozen at the new camp, with nary a doorknob from which to dangle a "Please clean my room" sign, let alone a "Do not disturb" one, but featuring most of the modern conveniences of a half-decent motel or hotel room. Ikara, which means "meeting place" in the local Adnyamathanha language, is part of the venerable Wilpena Pound Resort, about 400 kilometres north of Adelaide and one of the first outback tourism ventures of its kind in Australia. <span>It was established in the late 1950s by the visionary Rasheed family, with Ikara the latest accommodation offering. Yet in the pantheon of Australia's natural outback wonders, the Flinders Ranges tend to be overlooked, if not forgotten.</span>Anthony Dennis stuff.co.nz/63149623Thu, 13 Nov 2014 13:13:46 +1300Luxury, glamour and a nip'n'tuckhttp://www.stuff.co.nz/travel/destinations/middle-east/62978752/Luxury-glamour-and-a-nip-n-tuck
